Toward Vanishing' Electronics And Unlocking Nanomaterials' Power Potential
2014-03-28 09:21:51| rfglobalnet News Articles
Brain sensors and electronic tags that dissolve. Boosting the potential of renewable energy sources. These are examples of the latest research from two pioneering scientists selected as this year’s Kavli lecturers at the 247th National Meeting & Exposition of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the world’s largest scientific society.

Vanishing ice warning for 'Africa's Alps'
2014-03-16 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Agence France-Presse: In swirling snow, John Medenge prods a thin ice bridge over a crevasse with an iron-tipped spear, guiding climbers scaling the steep glacial wall using crampons and axes. "We are the last few who will climb on the ice, it is going so fast," said Medenge, after scaling the treacherous ridge up Mount Stanley, part of the dramatic Rwenzori mountain range straddling the border between Uganda and Democratic Republic of Congo. At 5,109 metres (16,763 feet), Stanley's jagged peak is the third highest...

SOS 54 years ago warned about vanishing glaciers
2013-12-25 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Times of India: At a time when glaciers are melting at an alarming pace, an SOS buried in a bottle 54 years ago in the Canadian Arctic, and unearthed now, sent a distress signal about the world's rapidly disappearing glaciers. An American geologist Paul Walker, concerned about the melting of ice, buried a message in a bottle during his exploration of Ward Hunt Island in Nunavut, Canada, in 1959. He measured the distance - about 1.2 metres - from a glacier to where he buried the message in a bottle, requesting...
Iceland's vanishing ice
2013-12-18 14:38:02| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Climate: A fierce wind shrieks down the glacier slope, flinging ice and grit like a weather-witch from an old Icelandic saga. The 300-some glaciers that cover more than 10 percent of Iceland are losing about 11 billion tons of ice a year. The glacier, Solheimajokull, a tongue of ice reaching toward Iceland's southeast coast, has become an apologue of climate change in recent years: Retreating an average of one Olympic pool-length every year for the past two decades due to climbing temperatures, warming...
Smaller isnt always better: The vanishing benefits (and profits) of smaller processes and new foundry tech
2013-11-12 16:18:41| Extremetech
As we push towards smaller process nodes, the meaning of that progression and the associated feature shrink has becoming increasing nebulous. Are we headed for an era where advances are strictly marketing terms? Not exactly.
